Hi Bruce,

I want to scan for stocks that are making a new high (and low in another scan) of the day at certain times of the day. For example

If last is new high of day and time is between 1 PM  and 2 PM then pass

Can that be done?  Thanks in advance.

The following RealCode Condition should return for any bars on an intraday chart which have new highs between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM ET.

'|*****************************************************************|
'|*** StockFinder RealCode Condition - Version 5.0 www.worden.com 
'|*** Copy and paste this header and code into StockFinder *********
'|*** Condition:New High Between Times
'|******************************************************************
'# Cumulative
Static DayHigh As Single
Static DayLow As Single
If isFirstBar Then
	DayHigh = Single.NaN
	DayLow = Single.NaN
Else If Price.DateValue.DayOfYear <> Price.DateValue(1).DayOfYear Then
	DayHigh = Price.High
	DayLow = Price.Low
End If
If Price.High > DayHigh Then
	DayHigh = Price.High
	If Date.Parse("13:00").TimeOfDay <= Price.DateValue.TimeOfDay AndAlso _
		Price.DateValue.TimeOfDay <= Date.Parse("14:00").TimeOfDay Then
		Pass
	End If
End If
If Price.Low < DayLow Then
	DayLow = Price.Low
End If

You can change the "13:00" and "14:00" in the RealCode to change the start and end times. You would need to put something similar in the If Price.Low < DayLow Then section to do something similar for new lows.

You could use the RealCode Condition as a Rule in BackScanner to backtest it.

Bruce, you ROCK!!  

going to work on implementing it now.

Hi Bruce, 

what does "'# Cumulative" do?

and I would like to use this as an indicator and condition, is there any reason why I can't

The '# Cumulative line lets StockFinder know to use all of the available data for the calculations instead of trying to optimize the condition by using less data when it isn't being used on the chart.

The RealCode Condition is just that, a condition (which can be used in the same way as any other condition) and not an indicator, but I cannot think of any reasons you could not plot the RealCode Condition as True Markers on the chart.

Just drag and drop the condition onto the chart or right-click on the condition and select Show True Markers (you can right-click on the condition and select Edit True Markers to change the settings).
